Re: Ring of Honor - JO

Not sure if anyone noticed this but there was a black tarp covering the spot next to Michael McCrary on the Ring of honor. I can only assume it's for Ogden.

Maybe the Raiders game will be his induction.

I saw that also. No question it has to be JO. I think they may hold it for a divisional game later in the Year. Say the Squeelers.
I had another thought when I saw that. A few years down the road do they put another member of the last decade of Raven football in the Ring of Honor. I am not thinking about Ray, (that is a given) but how about Brian Billick?? Keep in mind Ernest Byner is up there. Why not Brian?

Re: Ring of Honor - JO

Like we all agreed before ...

Steve Bisciotti, Dick Cass, if you happen to be reading this - Just take down Byner's name. Do it quietly on day, maybe in the offseason. The media won't report on it, the fans won't talk about it, no one will say a word.

Re: Ring of Honor - JO

Here we go again. No thread about the RoH is complete unless most of the posts deal with Ernest Byner.

JO - yes
Billick - yes

Those two, along with Ray Lewis, were the ones who stamped "Baltimore Ravens" on the map of the NFL. I credit the three of them with transforming this team from 'the old Cleveland Browns' to a new team, with its own identity.

His definitions and arguments were so clear in his own mind that he was unable to understand how any reasonable person could honestly differ with him.

Not while Modell is still alive. When Art passes, I think this may happen, but certainly not before.

As for Billick, going to take a few years for him to be inducted. It'd be ridiculous to do it so soon after he was fired, and probably still some animosity on both sides.

Re: Ring of Honor - JO

Holmes!!!??? Sharper????!! First of all, that's just stupid, second of all, .

I read it, and the responses. That is why I proposed a solution to some of the problems people have with J.O. being on the same ring as Byner.

Holmes and Sharper helped as much as anyone during the SB season, and since Holmes went on to be borderline HOF, he should get a little love on ROH at least on the Earnest Byner level, right next to Trent Dilfer maybe.

I actually think it's not the worst idea in the world. It's classless to take Byner off, but it's not classless to "wash him out" by simply overflowing the ring with members, and seperating a few from the heard....
